I think its right that only the Lti and Vito rear-steer were approved by the PCO for hack plates?

If thats the case and with LTi in liquidation, will it take as long to get approval for any new company producing cabs as "Lti" as it took for the Vito, can Vito owners fight it like Lti (and owners) fought the Vito?...

hope you understand what i mean eusasmiles.zip

If LTI remain bust, then the other suppliers should just stop making vehicles with the silly turning circle.

What would the PCO do then?

what is the PCO turning circle for hacks?

my Tourneo (unmodified) was a SWB

Quote:
Turning circle (kerb to kerb) 10.8 m
(35.50ft)

Turning circle

The vehicle must be capable of being turned on either lock so as to proceed in the opposite direction without reversing between two vertical parallel planes not more than 28ft apart.

The wheel turning circle kerb to kerb on either lock must not be more than 25ft in diameter.
